Caught In the Middle Lyrics
Looking inside of yourself
You might see someone you don't know
Maybe it's just what you need
Letting the river in you flow
You can sail away to the sun
And let it burn you while you can
Or walk a long bloody road
Like the hero who never ran
You'll feel it
You'll feel it
You'll feel the rush of it all
Flying away in the clouds
You know you're losing your control
Finding you way in the dark
Like some poor forgotten soul
You'll feel it
You'll see it
You'll feel the rush of the city lights
You'll feel it
I see it in your eyes, you're
Caught in the middle
Just like the way you've always been
Caught in the middle
Helpless again
Looking inside of yourself
You might see someone you don't know
Maybe it's just what you need
Letting the river I know that's in you flow
You can feel it
You can see it
You know the rush of thunder
You'll feel it
I see it in your eyes, you're
Caught in the middle
Just like the way you've always been
Caught in the middle
Helpless again
Like the rush of the thunder
That brings you under
There's some kind of spark
You're caught right there in the
middle
You're caught in the middle caught in the middle again
All night long yeah
You've been caught in the middle
You might see someone you don't know
Maybe it's just what you need
Letting the river in you flow
And let it burn you while you can
Or walk a long bloody road
Like the hero who never ran
You'll feel it
You'll feel the rush of it all
You know you're losing your control
Finding you way in the dark
Like some poor forgotten soul
You'll see it
You'll feel the rush of the city lights
You'll feel it
I see it in your eyes, you're
Just like the way you've always been
Caught in the middle
Helpless again
You might see someone you don't know
Maybe it's just what you need
Letting the river I know that's in you flow
You can see it
You know the rush of thunder
You'll feel it
I see it in your eyes, you're
Just like the way you've always been
Caught in the middle
Helpless again
That brings you under
There's some kind of spark
You're caught right there in the
middle
You're caught in the middle caught in the middle again
All night long yeah
You've been caught in the middle

Dio was very clear in this one. Look inside yourself. Unleash your free spirit and free yourself from the zombie that youve been told is your true self
What such an amazing song! The song means whatever you want it does. It can be the way to say that you can succeed in life if you really wanna, that you have to stop lying to yourself and find who you really are and what you really want. Or it can be something really negative like what you feel when you do drugs. I don't know. DIO songs always were kind of difficult to get -like Holy Diver- you don't know if he is criticizing the religion and its hypocrite face or...?- Anyway CITM is onne of my favorites you just cannot stopo listening to it. LONG LIVE KING DIO
RJD spoke about the meaning of these lyrics in an interview and they specifically relate to Angelo Arcuri's relationship issues and the way in which he always ended up caught in the middle. Angelo was the engineer on Holy Diver.
No comments? Awesomely underrated Dio song.
Agreed. Possibly my favourite off of Holy Diver. Im not certain about the message in the song though. Im not the greatest at interpreting these kind of things
Clearly it's about heaven and hell, good and evil and being caught between doing good and doing bad and the choice/s you make. As with many of Dio's songs, it is often open to interpretation but I think that is the gist of it! RIP Ronnie James Dio, KING of metal! \m/
i miss him.
Look at it as Satan talking to you
I think it has to do with cheating your woman. At the end it says "you break it off in the middle"... in the middle of what? A relationship I guess... Anyway,as someone before stated, it can be interpreted in many ways. Great song, and fine lyrics. I can listen to this song over and over again, it doesn't get boring.
I feel like this song is about someone who's having a hard time finding meaning in life or that theyre just generally depressed and feeling down on their-self and that theyre "caught in the middle" of being happy and sad. And Dio's trying to tell them about the great things they are capable of. but thats just my interpretation. Dio really wrote a masterpiece with this song
